VI. The match-up I thought was the most important to watch in Super Bowl 49, was the battle of the Tight Ends. Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski, had 6 Catches, while Seahawks TE Luke Wilson, had 0 catches.

VII. In the Seventh Round, Pick 232, of the 2009 Draft, the Patriots drafted Julian Edelman, a (5-10, 200lbs) QB from Kent State University. In Super Bowl 49, he had 9 catches, but his biggest catch was the Game-Winning TD with 2:02 left in the game, to give Pats the lead for good at 28-24.

XI. The Seahawks had a total of 11 drives in Super Bowl 49, the Patriots on the other hand, had 12. In the Patriots’s last possession they scored the game-winning TD on a catch by Julian Edelman from Tom Brady. If the Seahawks would have ran the up-tempo offense, they could have had more chances to score points.

XXVI. Seattle failed to play up tempo throughout Super Bowl 49, and it cost them. In the second quarter,before halftime they drove 5 plays 80 yards in 29 seconds to score a TD. They should have continued to use that style of offense in the second half.
